Vietnam's manufacturing sector records accelerated output increases in October

HANOI, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam's manufacturing sector recorded stronger growth momentum at the beginning of the final quarter of 2025, with sharp and accelerated increases in both output and new orders, according to a report released by Standard & Poor's (S&P) Global Market Intelligence on Monday.

The S&P Global Vietnam Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 54.5 in October from 50.4 in September, indicating solid monthly improvement in overall sector health, the report said.

New orders expanded for the second consecutive month and at a significantly faster pace than in September.

"Whether these growth rates can be sustained in the months ahead remains to be seen, but there is clearly some positive momentum in the sector at present," said Andrew Harker, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence. Enditem
